[Histonet] Keep cytology in the fridge

Hi,

Do you know for how long  fixed cervical  al smears can be kept in the 
fridge before staining (papanicolaou and HE) without any loss of slide 
quality? This is for a veterinary research project. We are sampling 23 
cows a week for 6 weeks and I would rather stain them all at the same 
time (i.e. at the end of the project) than doing it during the project 
(we would be busy with lots of other things). Can I keep them, after 
fixing in ethanol, at 4º for 6 weeks?

Thanks a lot for your help

Julio
